Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

[Sedat]

Agree with all of this and don't have any real counterpoints except that of all those frustrations nothing pushes me over the edge more than Baz just bombing it forward without any care time and time again.

He would have been amazing in the 1978 GF with his long bombs to Snake and his mullet.

Bailey Smith's awesome.

How is this even a topic of conversation. 22 year old with high marketing appeal and massive work-rate? Yeah, let's use him to roll the dice with some kid who may or may not end up being useful?

He won us a final in Brisbane for goodness sake.

Thread #1: We have no young mids coming through 'cos we drafted nothing but talls for 3 years.
Thread #2: Oh yeah, that young mid we do have coming through...let's trade him.

Not his best game on the weekend but he's a good player and REALLY good when he can play his best role. Anyone remember him towling up Cripps? The same Cripps that regularly beats us up himself? It stuck with me personally.

Shrug. I'd trade *you* or anyone on this forum if I thought we could improve our side.

Only issue now is how to best utilise him.

Treloar inside we seem to not be able to lever his best attributes as hhf.

Wouldn't trade unless was godfather offer.

Cool. So who are we trading him FOR?

More draft picks? Such an awesome plan.

[Topdog]

Baz is fantastic, gets moved around often and usually responds with a good game.

Insanity to think people believe a 22 year old has reached their ceiling.

Lighten up Francis. It's ok to have your opinion challenged and not get all snarky. Like I'm not with you.

But to answer your question, of course the payoff has to be worth it. Your sarcastic reply put words into my mouth that I never said.

No way you trade out a 22 year old mid with his ability

It's a debate generator. I like it.

Snarky... Not so much.

I’m with Dennis Pagan, every player has a price, even Carey at his peak (5 x top 10 picks it was). Smith ain’t sacred. I’m not shopping him, but if a great offer came up I’d heavily consider it. I’d happily discuss it (if he wanted to leave and we wanted that too) amongst likeminded folks on a bulldog discussion forum.

If we trade him, we might be able to get a high draft pick and draft a Bailey Smith type.

One that can kick real good but, right?

Yeah, none of the draftees have any weaknesses. They all play like *insert superstar comparison here*.
